William A. Kilian Hardware

Since 1913, Kilian Hardware has offered Philadelphia residents all the trappings of a classic hardware store: creaky floors, narrow aisles, and tall shelves loaded with every sort of item imaginable for the care and upgrading of old houses. Need a sack of plaster washers, herbal moth repellent, or a 3-pound window-sash weight? Kilian has all that, along with more than 25,000 other items. If you can't experience Kilian's firsthand, go to its website and wander through its virtual aisles.
